ANAHEIM, Calif. -- Eagles wide receiver Nelson Agholor is no stranger to walking through the tunnel and onto the field at the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

Agholor starred at USC, catching 178 passes for 2,572 yards and 20 touchdowns in three collegiate seasons before being chosen by the Eagles in the first round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Sunday's game against the Rams marks Agholor's first opportunity to return to his alma mater, and he's relishing the opportunity to be back in Los Angeles and play in his former home this week.

"I'm excited about my opportunity to be back in the Coliseum on Sunday," Agholor said in the locker room of Angel Stadium following the Eagles' practice on Wednesday. "It is an amazing football tradition, and something I was blessed to be a part of.

"I was there with a lot of men that I knew I could count on. We had a lot of fun in the Coliseum, because we felt like that was our territory. It was a place where we could lock the doors and have fun."

Agholor says that his family, his girlfriend, and his former wide receivers coach with the Trojans, Tee Martin, will be among the contingent in the stands cheering him on.

This season, Agholor has emerged as a legitimate weapon from the slot receiver position for quarterback Carson Wentz and an Eagles offense that enters Week 14 tied with the Rams as the highest scoring offense in the NFL averaging 30.1 points per game.

After a disappointing first two seasons of his career, Agholor has already caught a career-high 40 passes for 599 yards and seven touchdowns. However, he's not ready to get complacent after an arduous offseason of soul-searching and rededication to fundamentals.

"I'm happy that I've made strides," Agholor said. "I'm hungry to make more strides, and help my team win football games."
